Depends on label and vintage...! Victor catalogs can run 5-600 pages;
Columbias are slightly amaller; Brunswicks 100-150 pages (all these
are teens/twenties era). Rather than OCR'ing page scans to create
.pdf files (not always that dependable a process...!), I'd recommend
scanning them page-by-page and saving/posting the resulting image
files...!
Newer catalogs are kind of outside my "field of interest"...!
